The beginning of disease is slight de-
bility or disorder of some of the vital organs.
the stomach. the liver or the bowels usually.
Then dyspep,ic symptoms, the liver is
troublesome, the skin grows tawny and
unhealthy looking, there are pains in the
right side or through the right shoulder
blade. The climax is ofted an utter pros
tration of the physical energies. perhaps
a fatal tissue. But if the difficulty is met
in time with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which is always effective as remedy. and
It should be resorted tO at early stage.
there will be no reason TO apprehend those
injurious subsequent effects upon the sys-
TEN often entailed by entirely cured dis
eases. Far better is it, also, to employ this
safe remedial agent in fever and ague. and
other malarial complaints, than quinine and
other potent drugs, which, even when they
do prove effectual for time, ruin the
stomach and impair the general health.

ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.

Hardly week passes without the men.
ton by the newspapers of sudden deaths,
and OF late the alarming frequency of the
statement that death was caused bv rheu-
matism or neuralgia of the heart cannot
fail to have been noticed. In all proia-
bility many deaths attributed to heart dis
ease are caused by these terrible diseases,
which are far more dangerous than is gen
orally considered. Is there any positive
cure? TEe best answe. 10 such a question

time she commenced with this medicine she
was in most helpless condition; her suffer

confined to her bed for many weeks, nothing
we had done gave her any relief. Ny father
was almost discouraged and disheartened
fearing there never would I've any relief for
her. Not knowing what 10 do next he came
to town, going To Mr.. Richev's drug store,
he said he must have something that would
at least give her relief. Mr.. Richey spoke of
Athlophoros and told NV fatherto go and
see Josiah White about his use of it. Mr..
White spoke highly of the medicine and
advised my father to get a bottle and try it,
which he did. Alter taking a few doses
mother began to ga relief, after she had
used two bottles she was up and around and
in 4 weeks time she came down town. How
long had she been afflicted with this rheu-
matism? For sixteen wears. of course it
would be better and worse at different times.

ga great many people think the long

ness" said ''supe" at the Star Theatre,
New York. last evening 1.-THE truth is that
Bernharlt keeps things waiting so long.
She changes her dress for every act, and
that takes long time. Then she loafs
around her dressing room as long as she
pleases.
when she finally comes out she walks
sli around the stage, putting touch here

terror of stage manager The great
drawback is that she doesn't speak any
English, and her men don't either, so we
all jaw around together and don't make
much Roadway.
Eyes, she's great stage manager. When
she began the first Monday night with
'Prou Frou' there were an awful lot Of
srxioas faces out in the house before the
curtain went up. 1t looked as though toe
show would never begin. And why? Be
cause BerRharlt was walking around the
stage looking after every scrap of scenery
and property. 1t took till near 8 clock,
but she didn't care After she had made
a dozen changes in the stage setting she
was ready for the curtain to lift, and in q
minute out she comes as Frou Frou, look
ing as unconcerned as colt in clover lot
Before she went on in the last act she dis
covered that the sofa she was to do her
dying on was weak. She jumped on it
and plunged, and it came mighty near spill
ing hsr. Then you should have heard her
talk French to the property man.
"Well, he braced up the sofa with a
strong prop and the great S lrah was ready
for business. When her time came to die
she walked round and round the sofa,
taking it all in very carefully. stood in
the wings and watched her. Everything
seemed satisfactory, and she made break
for the sofa to do her title death. The
prop was loose, and when she rushed on
board the sofa it nearly, turned a somersault
with her, and she only kept from going
over by hard pull. She got through her
death without accident. but great scott!
you should have heard her go for the prop

Lcsan's Love story.

A Washington CORE pondent of the
Rochester "Union" writes: "L-gan's mar
rsge was the one little touch of romance
in his career. When a lieutenant in the
Mexican war, his captain, named Gun
bingham, received letter from his eldest
daughter--lt was the first she had ever
written, for she was still mere child
and showing it to the lieu enant, Captain
Cunningham laughingly told him that he
might have her Years afterwards when
Logan was a lawyer of thirty and Miss
Cunningham was young lady of seven
teen, he met her in her fathers office, and
told her he had come to claim her fathers
promise. HIS suit prospered and they
were married Mrs Logan was made of
the same metal as her husband When
he left the battlefield Of Bull Run and
turned his face toward his constituents he
did so at some personal risk, for they
had already passed resolutions favoring
secession. Mrs Logan was already at his
home, and on the day set for his arrival
she drove to Carbondale twenty two miles
away, to meet him. The train missed con
nections and Logan did not arrive. When
Mrs. Logan returned without him her
buggy was surrounded by an angry crowd
and it was not until the sheriff had urged
the mob to disperse that sue was removed
from her perilous and unpleasant position.
Then she turned her horse around and in
the darkness puckily set out again on the
long ride to Carbondale. 1t was two
o'clock in the morning when the train
which bore her husband rolled into the
depot, but without waiting to refresh or
rest they secured a. fresh horse, and by
daylight they were once more in Marion
There the populace surrounded Logan.
They had threatened to kill him if he
took position opposite to them, but I'M
dauuted by threats, he addressed them
and made them respect the cool bravery

who, when Logan was lying Rourded at
Fort Donelson, literally forced her way
through to his bedside and nurssd him
until he was well.
